Just to let you know of a different experience...

I've never experience the lag spoken of and have never needed to set my HD2 to run it's CPU at full all the time.. (i understand thats what the CPU speed tweak does but may be wrong)

Likewise my SMS app never lags... (depends how many sms's you keep i guess)

I have installed a custom ROM (its really easy my 3 yr old could manage it) and have never looked back. :)

More stability, extra features and generally faster than the stock ROM.

The unofficially app stores are available. (o-market is the common one) and coupled with the windows app store means you can get nearly anything.. not to mention all the other apps that are available on XDA!!

It's a great phone and you can spend your time tweaking it or just use it.. mine's fast and stable with it's custom ROM.. no need to tweak it further..... :D
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I totally agree with the custom rom bit and the lag disappeared on the stock rom once i had tweaked a lil (the one that really help is a tweak to allow manila/sense more memory to use) i will always have sms lag has i have over 5000 messages in my database and the most popular contact has a little over half of that to herself ;).
[HD2 General] crispy514:
I guess I'd have sms lag with that many texts!!
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
Thanks all.

I'll see how it performs when it arrives and use the CPU tweak etc if necessary.

It looks like a very capable phone out of the box, so I guess I won't be wanting to customise too much - but the odd performance/functionality tweak may well be on the menu.

Cheers

Get a HTC Desire. A Hero with HD2 power!!

Online it is cheaper than the HD2, so you could sell the HD2 & buy a Desire.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Haha, don't fool yourself, I give you a month tops before the allure of flashing a decent custom ROM sucks you in! :p
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
That's why I said "I guess" ... I don't want to go as deep as playing with custom ROMs but you never know ...
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
I've had the Hero for nearly a year and in a way fancy a change, even though the Desire is a very sorted device. Besides, the missus is kind of giving me her Hero because she doesn't get on with it - so I'll stick 2.1 on that if and when it finally arrives.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I said the same thing when i got my first WM device (an artemis) i had 2 of those (the first was lost) then a diamond and a touch pro. Never flashed a custom rom in 4 and half years. I get a Leo and within 6 weeks it's so modified i think the only way i recognise it is thanks to the outer casing. Nothing else is that same.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] el_Salmon:
Hi,

is Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) supported in the HTC Magic (or similar devices)?

Because I use this mobile to do SIP calls by using Wi-Fi, connected to a Linksys WRT54GL router and I can enable/disable WMM support. This feature would improve the voice transmission under Wi-fI IP but I don't know if this device is WMM compliant.

Thank you!

Hi All,

I have been watching 4-5 Different threads on Here and I have finally gotten tired of random banter and endless reading of repeated non-working or just non-technical responses. So I made a google Wave to try to consolidate our efforts and finally root this thing :) The wave will focus on overcoming the 1.49 Hboot with S-On and not specifically leak or OTA. If we don't get this solved its going to eventually kill our dev community :(

I make a personal promise that I will comb through the Wave document every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and merge all useful information into the main post and purge all non essential information so it remains consolidated and on point.

It will include:

General Root Tools:

Known Root Methods & If they have been tested on the Eris:

And More stuff I haven't figured out yet:

I will try to gather as much info as I can find about these things but please go post what you know on the wave to help out :)

Here is a link to the Public [Droid Eris - OTA & Leak 1.49 hboot Root Discussion] Wave:

https://wave.google.com/wave/invite...3138d&wsig=ABk8uhQbSaBHvVNCEDJwkF95o5d39W_HyA

P.S. I am just try to help get a root going so it would be cool if no one flamed me :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
Good effort man. I'd like to see this happen before I get a new phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
strong words..but with no end result really, besides creating an outside place to go for more confusion and so on, instead of actually keeping it at "home base".

Going forward and to be quite honest imo..rooting the leak or working on the known exploits or even going forward the h-boot and not reaching an end result, will not "kill the community". Yea it may in fact dwindle to a certain extent, but certainly not "kill it", as u mentioned.

Now with applying what you have created, the only thing i see happening is the cease and desist of the "random banter" here, and moved there.

If i may, a suggestion i have thrown out there numerous times, is actually hitting up the mods and seeing if a subforum with all threads related be created and moved there, yet still being on xda, and still not needing an external link.

Do you make a personal promise to keep the google wave up to date with the currents edits that are made? :rolleyes: LOL

Just pokin at ya but doesnt look great when even the google wave isnt up with the edits.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
maybe not in ur country..

but we have root.

just not the leak.

everyone was warned..majority of us either got replacements or had backups. i personally have 3, started out with 2 but picked up another along the way
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Two quick things.

1.) I am sorry I am not the best writer :) I was trying to work on it at work when ever I had a moment or two but I should of caught those errors.

2.) Ok, so everyone was warned about the leak. I know I used the leak personally. I was annoyed with no root, but only at my self. Then I had some general issues with the phone and I got a replacement, and at that time I made sure I rooted my android 1.5 replacement! And for a few months I had rom fun! Then from either possibly screwing around with my phone or just random electronic breakage it died. At this point Verizon is only giving replacements out with Android 2.1 and maybe some people are getting lucky but most are coming with 1.49 S-on bootloader. Now I know SoCalSpecialist you have like 3 Erises (this personally confuses me, owning 3 of the exact same model phone, but what ever makes your happy is cool with me) but I only have one. As of now I have no way to root it, and until its rooted coming to this board daily to check it makes me sad lol (I still come tho lol). More and more people that were active members in this community will be in the same boat as me and just have to sit by and become passive observers.

Look if no one wants to use the wave its cool. I am going to continue trying to arrange the information that community members have discovered and post it logically, as opposed to being randomly lodged in a number of different threads over hundreds of posts. And I do this only with the hopes that some Dev, takes a sec to look at it one day and reads it and something sets a light-bulb off for them, and bam! 1.49 S-on Rooted!

PS. One note I meant what I said about Wednesday, Friday, and Monday updates to the wave. all spelling/grammer errors will be fixed tomorrow night + additional info. I would do it now but I need to be to work in 5 hours and I am beat :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
honestly..best of luck.

getting the Eris community on the same boat has been an issue for all of us DEV's hence why we are slowly dwindling..

as far as the grammer and all that other jazz..who cares dude..as long as we get the jist, thats all that matters!

my with 3 devices, one was a tester i got from CNET, one belongs to my wife and the 3rd has the original leak that was never rooted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
I think either a wiki or google wave will do wonders for this... Having a central repository, editable by anyone, will foster information sharing and development.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hi All,

As promised its been updated. I wish I could post more tonight but a family member had a mini stroke so I need to go out :(

More updates Friday.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hey all,

Lots of new Info up on the wave.

Whats the diff between 1.49 S-On and S-Off? Mine is 1.49 S-Off.
[Droid Eris Android Development] khol91:
S-OFF is the rooted hboot, S-ON is the one we need to get around to get root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jopusm:
Thanks for clearing that up! :)
[HD2 General] Cinabnett:
Alright I have an HD2 Tmous,

My stock Rom was ver 2.13

I put Ver 2.07

HSPL will not install it gives me a Invalid SPL error

What do I need to do, The n00b page for this doesn't explain this problem

Also My radio in my car has bluetooth built in,

So I paired my phone up with it to stream my music off it,

it has 2 connections on my radio, phone connection and media connection

Once paired for the first time both are connected Media and phone.

Once car is turned off and back on it only connects to the phone

So I have to re pair the devices to get the media to connect

PLZ HELP!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
thats because all the noob pages say you need 2.08, not 2.07

find rom 2.10.0 in 'test and stock roms' thread in tmous section, flash that, it 'should' change your spl to 2.08.0000 then you can use hspl1024
[HD2 General] Cinabnett:
Thanks, do you know anything about the Bluetooth problem?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, sorry, i only use basic bt functions, and they all work fine, so it's not a strong suit of mine.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Sounds like a bug in the BT stack in the stereo TBH. I've seen this before with some in car GPS units and the fix is to update it's firmware. If the stereo is the stock one for the car have a word with the local dealer and if it's a thrid party one have a look and the manufacturers website.
[HD2 General] Cinabnett:
Cool! Thanks got it flash with 2.08 HSPL
[HD2 General] watcher64:
There is an option under the bluetooth settings to connect both handsfree and audio at the same time, not sure right where it is at, had to do it for my stereo headset ..

If this is not checked it will default to the Handsfree only untill media is requested via hardware buttons, that is how it behaves on my headset, should be close to the same for the car stereo ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
So, yesterday, after my power button started failing for a second time, I called HTC to have them send out a replacement Nexus One. My replacement arrived today (wow, fast!) at 2 pm. Only one problem... they forgot to inspect the effing thing before shipping it to me! The earpiece is DEAD. The only way for me to hear callers on the other end is to activate the speaker phone. So, now I have to wait for the phone to get back to them via FedEx before they can send me out another one. They've been pleasant to deal with, and willing to work with me, but this is truly disappointing. Very poor quality control over there.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
Bah. Meant to put this in the General section. Sorry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
Ha! Nevermind! It was moved. This is NOT a question or an answer, so I have no clue why it was moved to this section, but whatever.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
hey at least theyre willing to work with you and send you another replacement (hopefully). its better than getting no attention at all. especially if your phone was rooted
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
What? How would anything root-related cause the power button to fail? It's clearly a hardware malfunction. Legally, they MUST uphold the warranty for any and all hardware malfunctions, unless they can demonstrate abuse or neglect. The burden is upon them to prove that something I did caused the power button to fail. The whole fuss surrounding rooting voiding the warranty is far overblown. Yes, HTC says your warranty is void if you unlock the bootloader. But those are only words. That's not how the law works in the U.S., and I'm sure HTC knows that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Part Four:
The federal minimum standards are only waived if the warrantor can show that the problem associated with a warranted consumer product was caused by unreasonable use, including a failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mjz147:
I love the EVO, and the whole android notificaton system, but am shocked that HTC removed this feature on the EVO.

On the Hero,

when you got a text message up in the notification bar, it would show the message notification and then have a little number showing how much.

Obviously if you had one message their would be one message in the notification bar, and 2 or and so on.

however on the EVO, if you get 1,2, or 3 messges it only show the messaging Icon without the number in the notification bar.

It seems stupid that they would keep that feature on the hero with a 3.2 in screen, but remove it from the EVO with a 4.3 inch screen.

I know on the standard Android like on the nexus one or the samsung moment or droid it only shows the messaging ICON without the number no matter how many messages you have.

I really miss this feature, Is their anyway to install an .apk that would add that feature and fix this.

Weather

I have the stock weather/clock widget. And really do everything I can to save battery So i turn location and auto update off, However I am in the south suburbs of Chicago and I live literally on the borderline of 3 towns, It recognizes the one I live in but chanes frequently, I cant add custom small cities, Their was a windows mobile fix that did this for the touch diamond and touch pro, is their some similar patch that can be installed to add custom cities, or when we are in the city to set current city as default?

any help is appreciated.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesots:
Hi,

After changing my phone's date into the future, my G2 Touch told me there was an update available, so I told it to go ahead and apply it. When the phone rebooted it came up with this message:

E:No signature (218 files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted

I have nandroid installed on the phone. At least I think that's what's installed - I haven't played with any ROM stuff since November I think, when I changed the bootloader (I think - if that's what's giving me the option to do a nandroid backup now) and installed the newest T-Mobile G2 ROM.

Should the phone be able to install the OTA update, or will I have to replace the bootloader in order to get the OTA update on there? If I do have to replace the bootloader, will that require a full wipe?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:
Completely the same problem with HTC Hero after European OTA update. It has been rooted while ago (by following instructions from this forum) and now after setting up date in the future and confirming update, phone reboot and I get "Android System recovery" screen with menu and this message bellow it:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickgd:
I have the same problem (I did not write down the message, so I'm not sure which "Build:" was listed) .

The update fails, the phone reboots and then works under the old build. Under "settings/about phone" there is also no info about the update. Can one force the phone to download the update a second time? Would this help?

Bye

Nick

P.S. I'm running the phone in Germany over e-plus as network provider. The updates was done over a WiFi connection. The phone is not branded - was from the free market and not from a provider.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdture:
Hey,

got the same problem. At least I could extract the official OTA-update-zip to publish it here (see attachment)

There also is a "recovery.img" in the update zip, so I guess usually the OTA update will kill custom recovery bootloaders. We could replace the "recovery.img" in the zip with a hacked one before applying the update.

However first we should fix the verification error...

P.S.: Also Germany, not branded, Vodafone Network

Does anyone know if I will lose all my data if I reflash the original recovery.img onto my phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rseffner:
As I used flashrec to flash ra-recovery.img I keept all my data. So I don't belive you will lost any of your data except of your actual recovery image.

At last, we can try to flash origianl RUU, but with this we lost all our personal data.

----

I tried it. I installed flasrec.apk using ASTRO and used this app to flash the recovery.img from here mentioned/linked OTA update zip. Afterwards I changed date again and was able to install OTA Update without errors and loosing personal data. Now I'm without nandroid because of changing recovery image. Keep cool at this procedure installing these flashes takes long time in boot process - I was really near an hard reset ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdture:
Flashing the original recovery.img should not be a problem.

However, I don't want to lose root access, and thus I will wait for the official HTC 2.1-update (hoping someone publishes it online) and then flash it by myself..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:
I don't mind losing root access at this moment (the reason I rooted my phone was to get wifi tethering but never got it working with a mac).

Since I am total noob with android stuff, I would highly appreciate some step by step instructions or link where I can find what to do. Thanks guys.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaritolalala:
Hi, I've been trying to install the recovery.img from the update but I get this message with flashrec 1.1.3:

"Flash FAILED: Could not run command."

I'm using WWE 405.66 flashed with ra-recovery img 1.6.2... and the rom is rooted.

What am I doing wrong?

I can't even install ra-recovery with flashrec now and I have installed ra-recovery 1.6.2 this morning (I was using 1.5)

And yes, I know I'm going to lose ra-recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaritolalala:
What was the rom you were using when you flashed the official recovery?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdture:
Try the following:

- Copy the recovery.img to your SD card

- Turn off the phone, turn it on with Buttons "HOME"+"ONOFF" pressed such that the ra-recovery which you already have starts

- connect to your phone by cable using "adb shell"

- Then with root access you can flash the image by typing "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

This should do it

hey,

I had same problem

go to All programs--> Recovery Flasher--> Restore backup

then restart and update OTA

Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:
Hey guys.

So, for those of you, who do NOT care about root for now, here's what worked for me:

1.: Download the zip-file with the OTA Update, mentioned on the first page and extract it.

2.: Connect your Hero to your PC and copy the recovery.img from the OTA onto your sdcard. Disconnect from computer.

3.: Boot your phone into the bootloader (Home + PWR).

EDIT: Now connect the phone to the pc again!

4.: open the command prompt of your pc, navigate to your Android SDK folder. (If it is not installed, download it and make sure you've got the needed drivers. Otherwise: Download them, using the Setup.exe from Android SDK)

5.: Here are the needed commands:

adb shell
$su
mount -a
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

6.: reboot your phone after exitting the command prompt.

7.: Factory reset, reboot again

8.: And well, wait for the update-window again and be happy, now it should work ;)

EDIT 2:

Any questions? Just leave a reply ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinke:

OK I did exactly as you explained, but having problem with su command:

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
/ # su
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found

I know I know, you're going to say my phone is not rooted at all :) But believe me it was and some apps that require root access are there (screenshot, wifi tether etc.).

I even tried to find su cmd with find:

C:\sdk\tools>adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
/ # su
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found

But got nothing as you can see.

Ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revoluzifer:
@dinke:

Which bootloader / recovery console is installed?

Means, what do you see, after booting with Home + PWR?

Also try to input $su instead of just su.

Thanks for quick reply :)

I see Android system recovery screen, not sure if this is nandroid or what but have this text on the screen with following options:

And bellow menu there is build ID:

I don't remember exact procedure that I applied for rooting hero, but I followed instructions from this forum (I can try by searching for exact thread if that may help you).

Edit: I applied root procedure by following instructions on these two links:

That sounds just perfect :D

CyanogenMod 1.4 is exactly the same recovery console i have had before.

(Btw, Hero is not officially supported by CM anymore, had a nice discussion yesterday in cyanogen IRC ;))

So, try to use $su instead of su, that's what I typed and it all worked just great.

But you definitely first booted into bootload and then connected the phone to your pc again?

Tell me if this worked for you, please...
