[G1 Android Development] boimarc89:
the reason is bcuz the CM5 Eclair uses so much RAM , u constantly run outa RAM on D/S. i thought of this since theres rumors of a the HTC Vision in Q4 2010 running on Android powered by a dual core 800MHz proccessor coming for T-Mobile. Everyone never thought of the iPhone ever being able to run Linux and Android smoothly..Now look wht happened?..its running Android 2.2 waaay before even us G1/ MT3G owners can taste the froyo. It seems like a good idea to try becuz its clocked at a maximum of 575 MHz anyway. the idea is to jus allocate some of the power for background apps and the remainder for everything else. it was thought up in good intentions for those who cant afford the V12 powered Nexus One and are stuck until we cancel T-Mobile and get a Evo/Droid X like myself...or we get a new phone
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Sounds like a job for cgroups! AFAIK CM already does this, though one could argue the groups aren't currently intelligently assigned. I'm not familiar with the details of how that's set up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Neo.Collin:
HTC india server already has 2.1 update for HTC hero updated. My friend set the date to 10th july and it came up with a 4mb OTA first and now setting date to after 25th is giving a 75mb update.... I guess this should be the case in other countries as well..

Can someone else check and confirm.....

Try update? Sorry, but how?

I just set my date, but is there any "check for update" function? Or i have just to wait?

My cousin has a Hero and he has been anxiously waiting for it by being connected to wifi, but so far nothing. He even tried the date trick. Anyone else get this update yet?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Boomboy:
ahem ahem! saw this post in my RSS reader while at work and couldnt wait to get back home! am downloadin it right now peepz. will keep you posted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Boomboy:
ask him to change the date to start with to July 10. --> wifi on - change date - he should get a popup. I did. once it done downloading -- it rebooted and I got a pop up for system upgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Windcape:
This is surprising. But I guess it's just the usual Western arrogance, to think Europe would be prioritized over the east. HTC is a Asian company after all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Boomboy:
Aight folks. It's over. we have 2.1 on our hero :) Just follow the date method and am sure its gonna workout. Also ensure you have some space for the download to install. If you have too many apps, just delete some.

I still don't see the voice functions though....its been only minutes, let me play around.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thkc:
just tried this for SEA and it works! set the date to July 10 and the first package was downloaded and installed. Once the device reboots it will automatically check for the 2nd package, which is the 2.1 update! (downloading it now ;))

If you have installed first part of update you can go Settings - About phone - System software update - Check now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael.satish:
okay here is what i did! From Villian Rom to Stock 1.5 2.73.405.5 (not the one that ships with indian Hero), flashed back the original recovery, changed the date to 25 july; volla the First OTA pops up. Installed and the device rebooted as per the update process. But still i have the same rom version. Anybody can help on this!!!

i got the check update function so i believe the first update went well but when the check for update, i get a message stating that there is no update available for my phone

Guys am i doing the wrong way?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] getbacker:
Invalid rom version

Dude you flashed rom with build number 2.73.405.5(which is for EU), the Indian HTC Hero shipped in with a rom having a build number 2.73.720.5(you need to flash your phone with this before updating). Unfortunately, no one around has this rom(2.73.720.5), I have been searching for it in order to get the OTA updates....but no luck :(

Read http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx ... EU just has 1 OTA update out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] michael.satish:
Yep i lost my nandroid backup too. Anyways, in the development section, someone managed to get the OTA updates and that chap posted the zip files. Is it possible for us to update via stock recovery, so everything turns into stock

i tried renaming the OTA update 2 as update.zip and it didnt go well. Getting errors while flashing
[Hero, G2 Touch General] getbacker:
I suggest you wait for a Dev to reply at that feed, I have posted a comment there too. Do not flash anything for now.. just stay on Stock 1.5 2.73.405.5.

If you are referring to Indian stock rom ... you cannot return to it unless you have the original build..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
While my phone is plugged in via usb and charging, it will randomly pop up a message asking me my charging option even though it was already charging.

Anyone experienced this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentlythp:
I have had this issue with previous android phones if Sync was not installed. The only way I can get it to not pop up is to turn off USB debugging. Not sure if yours is on but I would check it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go4the1:
I can consistently get that message to pop up "randomly" when I use a task manager to kill all running apps. Apparently one of them is managing which option you chose and when you kill it, it re-detects that you're plugged in and asks again.

Not sure specifically which app it is.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snag4:
Very Noob question, I look all over this forum and the more I look, the more I get confused as to what to do and not do:

1: Should you wipe data factory reset then select wipe dalvik cache when installing a ROM? I followed a link o nthis site to root/nand in 30 steps to a T(Worked great!) but dont know enough about the terminology/structure of how these devices operate and want to knwo what I am doing next time besides following directions.

2: The file PC36IMG.zip, is that just a rooted ROM that is used to root/nand the device for further ROM installs?

3: What is the RUU???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentlythp:
1. My experience if you are switching to a completely seperate ROM I always wipe data/dalvik. Make sure you do a NANDROID backup first

2.*PC36IMG.zip really only needs to used when rooting. The one toast has in his post is a debug ROM. When you get a custom recovery you will be able to flash zips so you will not need the PC36IMG.zip.

3. RUU is a ROM ugrade utility. It is used to put the phone back to stock.

* not sure if I explained that well. If anyone notices something wrong please correct me :)

I have downloaded Sysinfo.

Here i can see under "environment" some directories. F.e.

Directory - ALARMS (N/A API LEVEL 8)

public Directory - DCIM (N/A API LEVEL 8)

and so on.

Now i was wondering if its possible to change the locations of these directories in FROYO, since API Level 8 is Froyo, isn´t it?

Does anybody know if that is possible? Because this would be very helpful for me... That is one thing i hate on Android (2.1) that its not possible to organize where you want to have your files....

[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Here is my story with X10 after 1 day of usage.

Since this is the first time to me to use the Android system, so I noticed that it is (from the interface side) a mix between iPhone and WM but it is much better faster and stable.

Network Reception ... Perfect

GPS reception ... Perfect

OS ... Perfect

Phone Dialer ... Similar to the iPhone one

Messaging ... Similar to the WM one

Browser ... Perfect in English sites not the Arabic one

Arabic support ... Very Poor (supposed to be supported in next Update 2.1)

Navigation program ... perfect as a 30 days trials and the 12 month upgrade will cost me 70Euro (costly some how but i will buy it as there is no alternative).

Android Market ... Medium in terms of paid programs (as Document2Go) and Perfect for the free programs (when Google will be able to give us access to the paid market).

Camera ... File size and quality is more than perfect but I've noticed that the image contrast is very High and I couldn't adjust it and there is a problem in the flash must be activated from the advanced menu every time i want to use it (stupid).

Exchange program ... Very powerful since it is for free (Roadsync which is a paid program is VERY powerful than the stock one). The problem is that i cannot set a frequent Sync other than push (which consume the battery to the maximum).

Battery life ... After 12 hours extensive usage there are 37% remaining power in the battery (which is good since i used a lot today , GPS, Camera, WEB, Exchange, messaging and Market).

Build quality ... So Far So Good :)

This is my initial feedback and will be followed by another feedback soon...

So guys, let us discuss here what is missing from our phone and what should SE consider in the next update
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
Second feedback after using it for almost a week now :)

I bought this phone since 7 days now and please find below my feedback:

	Battery life ... at the end of the day there are 33% remaining (after using Web, Lot of SMS, minimum 3 hours of calling, 3G network and WIFI)

	Camera ... Very good snapper my only problem is in the Flash and sometime the image stabilization doesn't work properly

	Touch Sensitivity ... Excellent

	Network Reception ... Excellent

	Market ... need badly to have access to the Paid section in the Market

	Dialer ... Having a smart dialer will be a good option

	Missing Video Call ... Since Fring used the back camera in performing Video calls over Skype and MSN why SE can't use it too to perform Video Calls over 3G network?

[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:
hi

for navigation you could use googlemaps navigation feature

and for full market in your region you could try downloading the market.apk and installing or you could debrand the phone so it has a different regions software on

only thing missing from the x10 for me is flash. everything else is great for what i need
[XPERIA X10 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
from when i played with it, i say it could of been better...just overall
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
I'm not going to harp on about MT because I know that will never be possible, but I will say its missed.

However after months of regular use, here's my list.

*the phone application could do with larger buttons

* flash in browser. Would have been perfect for the world cup whilst at work!

* better access to the latest OS releases.

* improved copy and paste method

*better cursor control for text input (can be addressed by HTC keyboard)

* automatic flash (will be addressed by later Android versions)

* louder in call volume

* Playlist creator (can be addressed by using default music player)

* improved zooming method

* more code support I.e divx and mkv

720p recording will be a bonus if executed well. (unlike face recognition)

Best thing about this device for me is the screen size for browsing.
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
thanks for the advice dear Andy
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
In addition we are missing GREAT smart dialing found under HTC..
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Couldn't agree more.. I took that for granted on the Hero!

I must admit i also found ending a call more complicated than it should have been, especially with the dialpad draw open. In the end I often waited for the person on the other end to hangup!

However I saw on a post on this forum that said that the power button can be used to end the call. Although it's not ideally placed to end a call, I find it much easier than sliding the dialer down and hitting the software end call key.

Just thought I'd share.
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
but this is true, you will have to hit the power key in order to end incoming call. nothing else can be configured (except a developer develop a program to change the assigned setting for the hardware keys :) )
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:

Dears,

I've posted today my second feedback about the mobile, please check Post # 2
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
I don't tend to use the dialler, unless I'm calling someone whose number isn't in my phonebook... I have the phonebook app on my action buttons (ADW Launcher) and go into that.. then long press on the contact and select the correct calling option from there.... probably quickest method of calling someone on any phone I've ever had.

Just a few months ago, before we knew the Evo was coming out, many of you were not bashing your phone. Now, all of a sudden alot of threads on here peopleare bashing the Hero. You bought the phone. You had 30 days to return it, yet you chose to keep it. If you hate the Hero, shut the F**K up and get you a damn EVO or something else and move over to their forum. I'm sure you will find something wrong with it also.

Yes, my Hero might not be getting 2.2, but the Devs are working on it and have most of it completed. I'll have it on my phone regardless. The problem with our phone is HTC does not want to make Sense work with 2.2 on our phone as it will probably slow it down. You can blame HTC and not Sprint.
