I am not sure on Froyo. Only ran it for about 15 minutes. Might want to ask how to get the ## codes working in the Froyo thread... Sorry I can't help ya anymore on that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slayer69:
You shouldn't have to hit the call button. At the last # it should take you right into diag mode. More then likely it is the rom you are using not letting you in.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Bradlo:
Yeah I think it's 2.2... I can't find anything on the internet with the diag codes for froyo either, and I like it too much to downgrade just for the banner.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mccurt29:
when i get to step 6 my phone doesnt show
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] apristel:
goto the device manager on your pc and see what port the HTC diag is and then add the port in pst.

check ur pm also.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slayer69:
Do you have your phone in debug mode? or Hard drive mode? You need to be on Charge Only.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] daddysal:
Do you download the demo to your phone or your PC?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
So does this change things system wide? Like pulling down the notification bar it will say something else instead of Sprint..on the call screen, etc?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I used the CDMA method, and yes it worked system wide.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
was it really easy to do or hard/confusing?? I want to do it but I'm kinda scared lol dont wanna ruin my phone :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mikevillarroel:
It's easy and fast!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Casshern:
Changing that banner changes it system wide. So, yes.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
It literally took seconds.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Did this, it did the write successfully, rebooted, still have the Sprint banner.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
Worked like a charm. I had to start at the beginning a couple times, because the phone kept showing up on ports only supported in CDMAW registered version. After a 3rd try, it connected on com2, and was smooth as silk after that. strange process when you're a noob like me. trying to figure out why it was connecting but not reading the phone, then not connecting, then working like a charm. I'm such a noob...:D but now I'm a noob with his name where Sprints used to be :cool:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Ok so going into diag all the numbers are 0, see nothing about comports..should be something right? Open CDMAWS, port 4 works. Security>SPC>read ...Got "failed." What's going wrong?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
I'm sorry I've got to ask but I have to lol.... I dled the drivers but dont know how to install them please help?? I'm usually good at this but today not so much (Borat voice) :D

BTW: I have the evo so is there specific ones I need or any will do?

I also am using windows 7 ultimate 64bit version
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slayer69:
CDMAWS is were the ports comes into play. If you choose 4 and it fails then its not using port 4. I had to change what my windows was using for one of the ports that you can use in the demo. I believe its 1,2,3, or 4 and if they are all being used by windows then you have to free one up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
How do I install those HTC diag drivers Idk how and its bugging me!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Well I made progress, got it to connect to port five. But when opening QPST it doesn't show my phone so stuck there. Did diag and that screen is running on my phone before opening QPST Service Programming.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Knight2011:
Thank you slayer69.I got the write part and it completed but errored.

So i decided to reboot my phone and BAM it worked.Thanks again
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
May be a stupid question, but are you making sure that the program is pointed at the right com port?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Dont' know how to tell what the right one is, it doesn't tell me anywhere until I test out to see if it connects. It connects to four and five, but only five allows me to read/send spc. So that's what I was using.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I use CDMA, but, in theory, they should be the same, so, if you know your phone is connecting under diag to com 5, then you should be able to just set your program to com 5 and then when you press read or whatever, it should pick up the phone
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Finally got it to work. Did just the CDMA WS method, was doing the QPST because I couldn't get the other to work before.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kumite2010:
Don't mean to bring up an old thread but I've been wanting to change the Sprint banner and stumbled across this post and using Slayer69 method worked for me (thanks bro).

Like some folks I was getting stuck on step 6 but realized that you can manually add the port that your phone is connected to under "QPST Configuration". Once you do that then everything is cake.

Okay not exactly cake because after I did the "write to phone" step I got an error message. I can't remember the exact wording but I took it that the memory I was trying to write to was was read only. Since it had been several months since this last post and when I got my phone, I thought that maybe HTC/Sprint had changed the hardware.

I rebooted anyway and lo and behold my personalized banner was there!

So screw you ruskiyab do everyone a favor and stay out of these forums if you're not going to give any helpful input.

Big thanks to everyone else!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] yamaha405:
The CMDA method no longer seems to be working unless you already have CDMA. The CDMA website is either gone or on hold or something, i dont know. I have been trying to figure out how to change my banner for three days and i could not find any copy of CDMAWS anywhere. I finally stumbled across this thread and SLAYER69 's method and it worked!

I did have to manually add my port COM4, but that is really easy to do once in QPST Configuration. Once connected I followed the crystal clear step-by-step instructions and it worked! It did give me an error message but disregard it.

Thank you all for the help!!!!

*oh, and I'm new to this whole rooted/flashing roms/nandroid/editing my phone stuff. lol. I just rooted my phone a week ago. I then flashed MYN'S WARM TWOPOINTTWO ROM, and all the radio/wimax stuff it said to do, and a ton of other custom roms and now I did this. Point-in-case?

Coming from my hero just picked up an evo today. Just wanted to say what up to the new community. Been having 100% awake time though. :( no root yet. Anyone else have these issues outta the box. Gonna try a firmware update and see if that helps at all. No apps installed either aside from all that lovely bloatware.
[EVO 4G General] imneveral0ne:
i would recomend rooting your phone and installing a custom rom. I was off phone 12 hours today and had 80% battery life!
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Congrats, it's a great phone. 100% uptime is probably due to setting up a Flickr account. There is a bug where Flickr account makes Calendar cause 100% uotime. Just go to Accounts and Settings and remove Flickr account and it should fix the problem.
[EVO 4G General] Waleezy:
...off phone? And which ROM were you using?
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
Yeah the uptime seems to of fixed itself. I love the phone, its super quick. I'm actually enjoying sense UI as I would disable it on my hero. I remember reading the ota updates broke root for the evo, is this true? And anyone had success running RUU or know if its capable to successfully unroot if anything goes wrong? Was always scared about unrooting my hero due to the dreaded error 110 that would come up. The phones fast enough now, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of some of these apps and trying froyo out.
[EVO 4G General] davesters81:
Gratz on the upgrade!

I did toast's root 1 and 2 on the OTA updated phone and flashed Fresh's ROM with no problems. I have been running it for a week now and it's perfect! The only thing is you have to uninstall the wifi tether app and install a fresh version from their google code site (kept FCing). I also noticed a very significant increase in battery life after rooting and flashing. I can go over a full day now where with stock phone I was getting to about 8-9pm before I would need to recharge.

Good luck!
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
I'm still iffy on rooting it :/ the only reason I rooted my hero was because I needed to I feel like to make it fully functional. I am worried about any issues evos are having and being within my 30 day exchange I might wait. I don't want another RUU horror story if they still exist. Lol.

It's essentially a list of towers prioritized to give you the best signal. :) It doesn't hurt anything and only improves things (mostly...kinda like virus-scan DATs...99.9% of them are good, but every once in a while one can screw things up...and gets fixed relatively quickly afterwards). :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afecarotta:
Ok so I got my hero about a month ago and upgraded to 2.1 last week. Terrible decision...wish I could take it back...but I hear that if you root your phone and use a custom ROM you can actually have a pretty decent experience with your phone using 2.1 I can't even list how many problems and how slow 2.1 is.

I do not know a lot at all about rooting a phone, I never have before, and the tutorials on unlocker seem to be out-dated with the 1.5 software so nothing is working for me. I have the ADP setup on my computer, I'm just wondering what's the easiest and most up to date way to root my Sprint HTC Hero so I can use a custom ROM. Any help is appreciated, thank you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
**If your software/build number (2.27.651.X) ends in 6, you must download and run this RUU first to be able to use the root exploit on your phone. If it ends in .5, skip this and click the link in the next sentence.**

Try this and if you follow it correctly, you'll be able to root your phone and be able to nandroid, and flash custom roms and what not.

Final note, all of the user data/settings on your phone will be reset, so it will be like having a brand new phone out of the box. Just an FYI.

OS uses a crap load of CPU resources just for scrolling. Hell I'm starting to think it's the OS and not the hardware that makes scrolling so laggy. Open up the System Panal app and scroll the active apps up and down real fast and watch the CPU percentage sky rocket to 70-75% and watch the CPU clock pretty much maxes out...WTF :O. I did the same thing on my Hero and it maxes out 99.9%. When I scroll slow and the CPU spikes the phone lags. So it's not the hardware it's the horrible optimized OS.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I think the way its setup it doesn't use the graphics chip to render graphics on the homescreens. This is why some stuff is choppy. I think they changed this in Froyo though as it is blistering fast no matter if you have live wallpapers running or whatelse is going on. After going from 2.1 to 2.2 update on my Nexus it was like night and day difference, Froyo will send the EVO over the top, can't wait to see an update!

Android is a parts bin product made by a bunch of google developers....ya it's a joke.
[EVO 4G General] Mast3rpyr0:
Ya, get a froyo rom.. its soo much faster. And its also the developers of apps that fail. I watched some Google I/O videos the other day about optimizations, ListView in particular. If developers keep creating more views as users scroll down, instead of reusing the ones that are no longer on screen, scroll speed would improve dramatically. But like i said, froyo is where its at. Get the Evolution v8 rom with RevA, its extremely fast and stable. Camera support will be coming soon im sure though.

I love the phone, but the service isn't good enough in my area to put up with it. Tomorrow will be my last day with it and I'll go back to waiting for AT&T to get a decent android. :(

[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
I know it sux to *have* to do it.. but if you flash the new radio, assuming you haven't already, that may help. I'm getting great reception everywhere I go, but when I was with ATT, my fuze was lucky to have 2 bars at home. After updating the radio on it, I was getting a solid 4 bars. And even if the radio doesn't help, you could always do the hack to use verizon towers. Again, I know it sux to have to do that, but if you decide to wait on ATT to get a decent Android phone, you're going to be waiting a long time. It looks like they're refusing to release any Android phones without locking down the ability to sideload apps.. which is absolute crap.

Please dont go! The phone can be so much more than it is in just released form. You can mod it! HTC will come out with software releases that make it so much better. Oh, please....please give it another chance.

Or....

Smart move dude! This phone sucks big time! I doubt HTC or Sprint will ever get this phone to where it should be. You are so much smarter and braver than those of us that are holding on...knowing we have a new phone that will have issues, expecting HTC and Sprint to get them right.

[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
I don't understand why people publicly announce this type of information?

If you're going to leave, then leave. We understand the faults of the phone, thus the reason for this forum and us being here to solve the problems. Every phone, no matter which carrier you go is going to have a problem that will annoy you. I understand the battery issue, among other ones; but there are more than enough threads discussing on how to maximize battery life (here and other forums); have you tried any of those suggestions?

If you have, then great -- sorry it didn't work out for you. Good luck with AT&T -- I wouldn't ever go with them, especially since they cripple the **** out of all the Android phones, but if they offer "better" service in your area, so be it.

Best of luck.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
If you want good reception, why are you going to AT&T? That's like jumping out of the pot and into the fire! Go to Verizon and pay the premium.
[EVO 4G General] ttforum:
Yeah, that is the problem with AT&T... Unfortunately they have great service where I live while the other carriers seem to have a big bad spot right in my neighborhood. I've been using the verizon tower hack quite a bit, but apparently verizon also has somewhat poor service here because their signal is weak as well.

I think the battery life issue for me is tied directly to the cell reception issue. I think the radio is working to hard to maintain a signal. I've tried all the battery suggestions, including one that caused my evo to reboot randomly all day long. I haven't tried the radio hack... maybe it is worth it.

Oh and to the smart asses, the reason I posted is that I don't want to get rid of the phone and was hoping that the post may produce a few suggestions of additional things to try. I also see nothing wrong with putting up a white flag after spending weeks trying to get things to work. The nature of cell phones seems to be that you are at the mercy of the carriers that work for you. I wish google (nexus one) had been successful at starting a change in the model where you could pick your phone first and your carrier independently.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
I hate to say it but dude that was so funny, even tho I do kinda feel for the guy.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
If your receptions sucks and you feel that the phone is using too much juice in obtaining a signal then leave them for a carrier that will work better in your area. Why are you even debating it? There will more phones out and if Verizon is a better carrier for you then come end of June or July you will the option of a 4.3" screen like the EVO in the Droid X. There are many options for you if you just wait. No need to get upset over the inability of the phone to get good reception. If you can make voice calls and get okay reception then perhaps you have to reevaluate what it is that you are expecting out of the phone that hasn't already been published. I get great battery life out of my phone. Give the 1750mAH from Seidio a try - I have heard good things about that battery. Many of the ROMS on here even with people in an okay reception area has given praise on lasting longer.

Also you might just have a bad battery. It can happen. Ask for a swap out for a new battery and see where it takes you.

Come back and post on your new battery and see if that is any better.

I know some can be smart asses as I can be as well. It is the nature of forums sometimes. Take it with a grain of salt.

If you really like the phone try to make the most of it. I never have a battery issue as I am in the car, near a battery source and have extra batteries for when I am out in the field. They are small enough to carry in my pockets or throw in the laptop bag. You have many choices.
