Not as far as I know, hoping the 2.2 update brings with it a much better gmail app as 2.1 gmail sucks, much better to just use the website.
[Legend General] simonq:
It is strange to me that gmail app on Android is so poor...

But generaly speaking the phone is really nice. I'd love to see the 2.2, hope it will improve the software things.

Agree with simonq ,

I spend hours trying to figure out how to copy and paste from gmail without any luck,

BUT, the good news is that you can login to gmail account from the browser then open any email click and hold within your email … it will highlight the text in green

Then you can copy and paste to other location.

Hello all,

I have been searching for a few answers on here but I seem to have come up short. Basically, I have a non sprint hero and would like to root it. I am not sure if I am ready to load a custom rom just yet. I mainly would like to have root to do some modification to the current version I have like getting rid of the junk I dont need (peep, footprints, ect). So far, I have successfully created a goldcard with no issue.But this is where I am getting lost. From what I gather, before i can root at this point it seems I must load some sort of basic or custom RUU to even be able to get root. Is this correct? I would like to avoid this if possible at least until I can do a nand backup. I have also attempted to root using the SDK and shell on both vista and ubuntu karmic with no luck. I guess what I am looking for is a way to root without getting rid of my current 1.5 if that is possible.

Thanks for your help in advance..

I did it the second way. No need to flash a ROM, but I would flash the recovery so you can backup your system in it's original state just incase you mess with something you shoudn't
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagle128:
AFAIK Theres is no way to root exactly what your running or return back to stock software after root on non sprint heros. You should be able to return to your carriers software if they release a 2.1 RUU update and your willing to lose root.

Next step for you is running the sprint RUU in this guide. Step 4

Worked flawlessly on my App Wireless phone. Good Luck if you decide to go for it.

Hi there,

I would like to know if the sensitivity for GSM signal is better on the Desire, or on the Nexus One.

Do someone have both mobile and could try the app "signal radar" with phones at the same place ?

I live somewhere where the signal is weak, just wonder wich one is the better for me.

Thanks =)

EDIT : I look somewhere that the SAR for the Desire is around 0,752 W/Kg, and around 0,823 W/Kg for the N1,

I don't know if it influance the sensitivity of the gsm signal ...
[Desire General] Dominikm:
I don't know what kind of reception has N1 but Desire in GSM is quite good. Much better than Nokia N97, similar to N95. 3G is bigger issue.

Dang. New version, same result! I appreciate you taking the time to post it.

Now I'm wondering if the issue is based on location, or if you guys have a cache that you are running off of, where my cache is blank, and therefore failing.

Do you see anything in your logcat regarding successful update, or, how old our your latest news updates?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexant1:
im using DC 2.0.9.1 and the genie widget is working just fine
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
Yea, this is not ROM dependent / specific. A quick google search shows it's popping up everywhere. I suspect when your cache expires, everyone's will bork too, unless a remote fix is done before this happens.

The same version on my wife's hero was working when I got home from the office, and has now stopped as well.

If someone who has it still working can remove and re-add, while watching their logcat, to see what messages appear regarding success / fail on the call to google, it would help immensely.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:

Guess those it's not working for have to wait it out, as I'm not sure how we could fix it based on the variability and the fact that the same version is working for some and not for others...

Anyone experiencing the same?

Nevermind: Youtube Widget works.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
The majority of those where it still "appears" to be working, is simply due to cached data. It is not updating, and as soon as the cache expires, the same problem will present itself. So, there is no benefit in grabbing someone else's cache, unless you want to view their old news & weather.

I think we are going to have to wait for Google to catch wind of the problem and fix on their end. It definitely appears to be a server-side problem.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeRmiT80:
got it. thought cache was relationed somehow with server authentication...

...anyway it's better to see old icons instead of "sorry try again" :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenII:
If it makes anyone feel any better...I went from DC3.0 (for my Evo) to his latest 3.1.1 T2, and I had this issue. I restored and it picked up weather right away...sooo maybe that helps narrow down a bit?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JsChiSurf:
Going to a new ROM, after a wipe, clears everything, including cache. Restoring to an old ROM, the cache is still present. So, I think this is consistent with what we are seeing.

The question is, after a restore, what do your news articles say in terms of how long ago they were pulled?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenII:
Well, with logcat running I didn't notice the errors as with when it doesn't get anything at all...no connection error. Butttt...lemme restore again (7th time so far...while bored at work)...and I'lll post back.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenII:
Hmm..ok, I fold. I just checked, and the weather is from the 16th. News...all of it (even after refreshing) is from the 16th...now I'm curious.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifforama:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Just checked mine again, quit working now. Checked logcat, and no connect, only cache. Ping google, got some of the same ip's that I got when it worked. So I don't know what google's problem is, but I guess it's time to set up the news widget that came with zen's slide rom. Lol

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeRmiT80:
open the apk file using 7zip (if you use windows rar can open but cannot replace the files inside) and replace the "appwidgetbackgroundsomething" (:p) in both res drawable mdpi and hdpi.

don't need to use the same dimensions of the original image...then update the apk and you're done.

then use rootexplorer or similar to replace the geniewidget.apk in the system/app/ directory. reboot advised but not necessary.

the rest is up to you :)

If you don't want to spend 0.99Euros ( close to 1 dollar) for such a perfect application, you may try "Android agenda widget" that is free and the developer is really responsive and come with a lot of good stuff. I also suggest to donate because that worth.

I know you said you'd prefer a free app but this has many customisable features, with widget sizes to accommodate most screen layouts. It also has support for displaying Tasks (Astrid or GTasks).

Personally, this would be in my top 3 essentials apps.

You can also make the background transparent and remove the calendar icon.
