[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TripFlex:
Alright guys so i got my EVO today and ive finally make the switch from Windows Mobile. Which means, i know absolutely nothing about android.

Quick simple newb questions.

I see people saying that if you want to install a non-stock rom you have to "root" your phone, but you can't do that if you accept Sprint's new update.

What is "rooting" the phone? And if i do install the update will i never be able to install a different rom?

My phone is in a constant reboot and i dont want to go back up to the store so can i just reflash the stock rom? Does my phone need to be "rooted"? Will i not be able to "root" my phone if i flash the stock rom?

Thanks for the help guys!

I thought once we have root all apps would work. But titanium says it needs busybox. That's one of the best root apps

Click on "problems?" in the app and it will download bussybox.

It works just fine on my rooted phone.
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
I just finished rooting my Evo and did exactly as above. The first time you start Titanium, it will ask for root, then say it failed. That's most likely because Busybox is missing. Click on "Problems?" and let it install Busybox. Restart Titanium Backup and all is well.

I also had good luck grabbing the TitaniumBackup directory from my Hero's SD card and putting it on the Evo's card and restoring my apps that way. Very handy if you want your settings back.

I haven't really found much else on this. But when I take my battery off the charger it goes down to 93 or so percent in just a few minutes. Anyone else have this problem
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
yeah this is an ongoing software issue with this phone, it is discussed in here somewhere. the fix for now is to once it is charged turn the phone off, then pug it it and it will charge again for about 15-30 minutes, you can do it a few times if you want but I havent personally seen a difference by doing it one or three times.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
I don't think it is a bug.

The phone stops charging when full. So if you plug it in and go to bed it will stop after awhile, but continue to use juice as it normally does - unless it is turned off.

Doesn't reset until you unplug and re-plug in or reboot your phone, I believe.
[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
That's what I thought at first too, but I have taken it off the charger immediately after hitting full and it still does it
[Droid Incredible General] gummehbear:
It is a bug, must be a miss calculation for battery over charging protection.

Phone charges for an extra 30 minutes after it's "full" if you turn it off and continue to charge it.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Mine doesn't. When the initial charge completes and I plug it right back in, it stays green. Doesn't matter if it is on the car charger or regular charger.
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
Try what jitajt describes.

Charge it.

Disconnect it.

POWER IT OFF.

Then plug it back in. The charge indicator will be orange. Not green.

Charge til the light is green.

I tried what you described: charge,unplug,plug back in, and the charge indicator stayed green.

Not until you do as jitajt describes, and what is outlined above, will you get a full charge.
[Droid Incredible General] th3drow:
just did it, works alot better, it sucks though because it is really time consuming, not something i would be able to do every day.
[Droid Incredible General] Ed Zachary:
Yeah.

Maybe one of the near-future OTA updates will include a firmware fix to take care of this.

Hold your breath...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporty9xterra:
I just got a replacement Hero. I want to load a customized 2.1 rather than just unlock 2.1 stock. How do I partition my SD card so that I can run Apps2SD. I keep finding info about the directory but I'm not sure how exactly to partition. I'm not having luck tried searching but nothing step by step.

also anyone have recommendation for new 2.1 rom.. I just want stable fast- w teethering etc.. dont care about friendstream or twittering..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
I think "Partition SD" in search would have brought up what you wanted.

But reboot to recovery.

Patition SD Card.

Set a swap file to whatever you want...I have mine at 124 I think. But some ROMs dont use it.

Set EXT to however big you want it. Mine is at 800 something. You'll never fill that up.

Let it format. Then Upgrade EXT2 to EXT3

The reboot.

Reboot will take longer.

I already set my mind on getting EVO but this would be a major bummer :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
You need to push the font while in recovery mode (if you are rooted).

Then it should work as you can write to system only when in recovery mode.

copy it to your SD card

reboot in recovery mode, apply it through update zip, let it run, reboot phone, download the anysofd keyboard from the market, with the language pack you prefer and walla you have your foreign fonts (for the internet, keyboard etc)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHracer:
Hey all, this is my first post, but I've been a long time peruser of this forum with my Hero previously. I now have an Evo and I would love to get Arabic added as a font.

I've rotted my phone (via the one click root) and would love to add Arabic w/o updating my ROM. Is this possible, or do I need to get a new ROM to add Arabic font support?

I've read the past threads on updating and all the current ways to add Semitic language support has been through the use of the "Recovery" mode, which I've only ever seen with an updated ROM.

For those (like me) who would like to try and add Arabic support w/o a new ROM - is this possible?

I believe there are a couple of free ones in the market place. Search for Easy Tether or PDAnet. Both have paid/donate versions as well. If you don't want to go this route, PM me and I can point you in another direction.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] boostlover:
Evil Eris v.2.0.1 and version 3.0 have wired tethering built in already. All you have to do is plug the phone into your computer, and there's an "internet sharing" option under the menu where it lets you choose between charge only, HTC sync and disk drive.

Also, xtrROM, which is a marvelous ROM I might add, has the wired tether program also, you have to install the ROM and the StockApps zip also.:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Hi there!

Well, despite the huge warnings in red colors, I installed the official RUU 2.1 update. My HTC Hero is now with 2.1 and works fine, but I would like to install a Spanish language pack (MoreLocale doesn't works). Yes, I know I could wait to the WWE version but... The mistake is done. So, my questions are:

1.- Could I rollback my firmware or try to install a custom rom? How? (I tried Goldcard + Previous version without success)

2.- Could I install a spanish locale?

Thanks in advance and congratulations for the great job you're doing today. How many roms in less than 24h! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltraddical:
This is a so-called 'WE TOLD YOU SO' situation..

But, have you tried an old RUU package?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Yes, and I can't install the previous one. I also noticed that my bootloader version is newer (000004 before, 000007 now).

It's suposed to be possible? (install the prev. Version, I mean)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie1506:
Maybe with the goldcard method, but not guaranteed it will work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Ok, I'll try later again, but I'm not sure if this is gonna work, because I tried it twice a while ago.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie1506:
Good luck :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Tried twice with the GoldCard method (I did it well, because it worked when I updated) and I get this error:

Checking Main Version

Update fail!

And in the RUU installer:

Error [140] Error bootloader version (or something like that)

Suggestions?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophaq:
hi, i'm just a noob like you, i had to do the goldcard method, it didn't work the first time, but to make sure i was following the tutorial, i had to print it, and follow again, and then it worked, make sure you pick up the right one for your phone. and start from the beginning again , i'm sure you'll get it to work at the end, don't give up. just go through what you doing step by step, you'll find what was wrong.:)

downloaded the new radio, haven't installed it yet. got to do more reading first before i do, to be on the safe side. goodluck uniyah hope you got it sorted.

cheers to all the devs and tutors:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Well, I tried the GoldCard method for 15 times. It just doesn't works. I think it checks the version and give me this error.

One question: Is possible to install the Spanish locale?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:
For now it's just impossible to root the new 2.1 because nobody has done it yet so for now you will have to wait... However, the Sprint Hero had been rooted a few days ago so I think that it won't take ages to root our Hero...

Try MoreLocal in the market for installing Spanish...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
MoreLocale doesn't works.

So, there is nothing I can do for downgrade? Any other Goldcard methods or something like that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebxd:
I don't think so... In my opinion some guy will find a way to root the new rom but you will have to wait...

As you have seen Gold card doesn't work...So the protection against root has changed...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie1506:

Do you think that with the WWE version could I update my phone and put it in Spanish?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniyah:
Well, I tried every single method about twice each one. None works.

I guess I should wait to the WWE release.

I have the Incredible and will probably have to wait until the end of the year to see 2.2. I was hoping those of you lucky enough to have 2.2 could answer a question about 2.2.

Did Google fix the inability to hit the button on your bluetooth headset to trigger voice dialing?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Yes I believe so. Full Bluetooth support is now present which includes initiating from the headset. Can someone else confirm?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Sounds right. It also picks up the phone if it detects a bluetooth headset connect while the phone is ringing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
Yes. Press the headset button and the screen shows sample voice dialing commands while the headset says, "speak now." You say "call John Smith", the headset says "calling John Smith" and dials.

It's a little different from the way it was on Windows Mobile, where the phone asked, "Call John Smith?" and you had to say "yes" or "no," but you can still abort the call using the headset button if the phone misunderstood your command.

I haven't used it much, but it's 2-for-2 for correct voice recognition on the test calls I made.

[HD2 General] Mr Footlong:
Hi guys.

Really sorry about this but I am at the end of my tether with this!

I run my own IT support company and one of the things I do most is Blackberry and iPhone Exchange email syncing. While both of those work brilliantly, I have had users having loads of issues getting their Windows Mobile devices working easily. Luckliy only one or 2 have these devices but more are asking....

I resorted to retiring my Bold 9000 and got a brand new sealed HD2 on the UK T-Mobile network today. First thing I did was get a sim unlock code and that went through first time (using my working o2 SIM from my BB). However, I couldn't make calls so after I spoke to o2 I got in to the Phone, Network settings and with the Network selection on auto, the preferred networks list was blank. Clicking the preferred networks button brings up the list of preferred networks, ticked o2 - UK and ok'd it. Goes back to main network screen and still blank. Clicking Find Network then brings up cannot register on selected network.

Changing automatic network selection to manual, selecting )2 - UK and ok'ing that brings up the same 'cannot register on selected network error. So, after coming here, I stuck on the HSPL 1.42, then upgraded to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship

That went on fine and after wiping to factory to make sure I sent through the set up. Same errors and still can't make receive calls.

Stuck on the 2.08 hspl for the hell of it then upgraded to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

Guess what? Exact same problems! I spoke to o2 support and they were pretty useless. Explained that it was sim unlocked and on a generic firmware. They said that T-Mobile do something weird with the HTC and I should try calling HTC tech support, who are now closed...... I am not sure HTC will be of any help anyway as I can't exactly go telling them I have stuck on the HSPL and a non-approved firmware for what was the originall carrier!

Help please anybody?? I have googled and googled but haven't found anyone with the same problem, I might be being blind. BTW, what I guess is the antenna icon has an exclamation next to it ;)

Thanks,

Nick :)
[HD2 General] Mr Footlong:
Quick update. Housemate got back so I nicked the Vodafone UK sim from his iPhone and stuck that in the HD2. Same problem, won't register on Vodafone either. Anyone? :(
[HD2 General] Mr Footlong:
Got annoyed. changed the SPL back to the standard 1.42. Installed the latest T-Mobile official firmware. Same problems. Do I have the only HD2 ever to be doing this? :(. I don't have a T-Mobile sim to hand and the nearest store is miles away sadly.
[HD2 General] kbriaz:
Does your phone app not work at all ?

How do you know unlock code worked ? so far every sim you tried has failed.

Where did you get the unlocking code from ?

How did you use it ? meaning how did you input it ?

Verdict so far, if a t-mobile sim card works then unlock was a fail !
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
Ok referring to your network selection, for the UK, you should have it set to Automatic, it will then use the network associated with your sim.

referring to your call problem, does the phone still work with the original t-mobile sim?

if so it sounds like your unlock code didnt work.

if your phone no longer works with the original t-mobile, I should think something has gone wrong with the radio software you have installed on the phone. Try going back to the stock htc/radio rom. If that doesnt work then the phone probably needs to go back to t-mobile for repair, at this point you tell them "it just stopped working" ;)
