[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
So my phones screen is messed up. The letters a and l on the keyboard dont register unless I press the screen really HARD. That area of the screen is unresponsive. I tired different ROMS but its a problem with the touch panel

I called T-Mobile and they said I should take it to a store. Apparently I have 2 year warranty :D. There some slight scratches at the bottom of my phone so they may think I dropped it :(

So how can I put it back to stock ROM via recovery and default Radio?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Connect handset to PC/Lappy using USB. Then run the T-Mobile RUU from

STICKY [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links

Done.

..... And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST IN GENERAL OR Q&A NEXT TIME. THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bulltronStudios:
not an issue with the touch, in my experience anyways ... I've had the same issue, it lasted for quite some time ... then i started using swype .. and hte issue went away, the issue also doesnt' reside in the vanilla keyboard stock by android ... you can switch to this with ... longclick on input box ... input method .. android keyboard ... see if that fixes it at all ..

as soon as i stopepd using SEnSE UI roms, my issue was fixed ....

try that before taking it in .... i hated it too, and was almost ready to take it in, then used vanilla rom, too good for life.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
Would I not lose Root? Lets say they just replace the screen then im stuck

bulltronStudios: tried it but not good enough and I prefer the htc keyboard
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robocik:
It does not need to be the newest one, just original.

Choose one which you can root.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonesy:
just flash the system.img,boot.img and recovery.img from the ruu you should be ok then
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mach2005:
Had the same issue. Called HTC. They told me it was a verry comon problem. Got a new screen within 5 days. Good service!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ricostuart:
doesnt even need to be official rom. mine went back with vanillaeclair rom installed and fully rooted. Had done a nandroid backup beforehand. first thing they do regardless is flash a rom onto it so they dont care.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rammsky:
Yeah, just send them with whatever ROM you currently have. Doesn't really matter. Its not as if they'll fine you if they found out because now your problem is the the touchscreen, not the software.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
ramsky they may say it voids warranty so I have to pay

Is there not an update.zip available for defualt rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tonyleeloveyou:
Just use RUU for the version that goes with you bought
[Hero, G2 Touch General] liorweitz:
there is. but it will keep the recovery, so they can found out that you had root.

when you are using a RUU, your phone will be like you just Bought it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
ok thanks, will do
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ermacwins:
does that ruu flash the corresponding radio with it?

Hi guys, Im on ATT network. The Data connection on the Aria I just got for my wife works fine for everything but browsing the internet over data connection. Everytime I enter a URL i get a "This url is blocked" message. It also happens with internet explorer on my tilt, but not opera.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[General Topics] cmstackar:
Well, I know there are multiple browsers for android, even though the stock one is excellent. I don't know if this will work, but on our work computers simply changing http to https works

can you show me the way master?

[Android] AndrewMe:
Looks nice. Any chance to add week number to month view?

I suppose, it's not that easy, but may be it's possible to add day agenda preview under the month overview?
[Android] truedis:
I'm seeing some weird gray overlay of a + sign (see screenshots). It shows up in Day/Week/Month views. I'm using an Evo with Cyanogenmod Froyo.
[Android] jpeterson:
I have just noticed the same thing with I tested on CM 6.0 for DROID.

I am looking into the issue. I have been testing on OEM and BuglessBeast until now.
[Android] jpeterson:
It seems that CM uses HDPI images for the apps for DROID and standard everyone else uses MDPI. I am rebuilding to adjust for this.
[Android] rori~:
Had the same overlay stuff when I themed 2.2 Calendar ...

Edit: just tried your mod...I like it!!

I don´t need the week start, but color highlighting in the month vew area is great!! - thanx for that.

You didn´t do that with apktool, you took the source and modded in eclipse, right?
[Android] jpeterson:
No eclipse, but yes. Modified and rebuilt from source.
[Android] udK:
Maybe a bug, tapping on Menu -> More -> Calendars the app crash.
[Android] truedis:
How do I get this to stick after a restart? Using CM6 with gapps installed from the update.zip on the CM6 thread.
[Android] victorinoxs:
Just replace Calendar.apk in system/app with the modded one.

Btw, thanks for the great mod, it's 10X better than the stock one!

[Android] jpeterson:
Thank you. I never really understood why the month view was the way it was.
[Android] truedis:
I'm having a solid gray box at the top in CM6.1RC1. Any chance of fixing this and updating to the v2.2.1 Calendar source?

Try the regular version instead of CM version. It's working fine on my Nexus CM6.1RC1.

Is it difficult to create an offline calendar? My experience is limited, but i am willing to try.

Can you point me in the right direction?
[Android] jpeterson:
Strange.. I would have expected the HDPI(CM) version to work with the Evo and Nexus. Please let me know what device and Calendar you are using to be sure that all is working.
[Android] jpeterson:
What device and source are you using. I need to know the dpi that your build was for.
[Android] gkarg:

with the regular and CM Version I get grey overlays at the top of the screen - see attached Screenshot for CM on Samsung Galaxy I9000 running Froyo 2.2 JPO.

Is this a Problem with the application ?

Thanks

[Android] hashkent:
I'm having the same problem.. Does the device need to be rooted first? This Calendar app is so much better then the HTC one but I can't get rid of the HTC one!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danootz:
I did the OTA Simple Root Guide last night, got to the 1.17 engineering ROM. I had flash the RA_Recovery.

I then flashed the 1.47 with root privileges ROM.

Is it bad that I never did a NAND backup before flashing the 1.47 w/root ROM? That is, not saving the state when I was dropped to 1.17 Engineering?

Is it alright to do a NAND backup in my current state with the 1.47 rooted ROM?

and for a more stupid question, am I doing a NAND backup if I power down, hold volume down and press power and then go to Recovery and choose Backup/Restore?

Is the result just a file or folder called backup or some such? I can just copy that folder/file to my computer as well as leaving it on the SD Card for future use if necessary?

**edit** I think I just found a thread that answers my question about doing the manual backup, at least with respect to whether I'm doing a NAND backup by going to recovery and choosing backup/restore. Although I guess my question still stands about what the output is and handling it fo future use.

Thank you for any help anyone can provide!

I've had my evo for a little over three weeks now... I've traveled to alot of different areas and I've never seemed to drop below 3G even when I have zero bars....Is anyone else experiencing this???
[EVO 4G General] nateg20:
I live in iowa, sprint roams a fair amount of the time. I don't think the evo will display anything other than 3g when internet is available even though it is roaming on like a 1x network. I think sprint roams 1x on UScell, but I've gotten good 3g speeds roaming as well, which I assume is Verizon. Running a speedtest has confirmed max rates of ~200kbs even though I had full bars. I've never gotten less than 800 when not roaming. Is there a program out there that will specifically tell who's tower you are roaming on? Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
I have never seen anything other than 3G, 4G, or nothing for the data connection. It's the way the phone was designed. If I have a data connection, it always says 3G (I rarely connect to 4G).
[EVO 4G General] joypunk:
I've seen a screenshot with EvDo listed in the status bar, but I've never seen anything but 3G on my phone.

The screenshot with EvDo was a custom ROM, so it may have been something they changed. I'll see if I can find the screenshot again. (It was here on xda.)
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
yes, i've seen a triangle, 1x or evdo symbol and sometimes and x for no service at all lol. i tend to miss the coverage i had under at&t...
[EVO 4G General] ssjgoku24:
EVDO = 3G

1x = Not 3G

Triangle = Roaming

3G is almost always displayed on the stock rom even when its not in 3G

On custom roms you will see different combinations
[EVO 4G General] GumboChief:
I get the triangle when riding underground in Chicago's subway.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Editcandy:
Searched the forum and couldn't find an answer.

I'm on a Sprint Vogue having trouble using Google Maps with any of the ROMs I've tried (Myn's Donut & Eclaire and Incubus's Eclaire).

Usually I just get: "Your Current Location Is Temporarily Unavailable."

I have temporary luck about every 15th reboot and then it stops working again after a few minutes.

Using the GPS Status app, I'm able to get Lat/Lon info so I know my GPS is working.

Any suggestions for something I need to be doing or enabling?

Thanks,

Jason
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
Are you installed on NAND or SD? If SD, does it work in WinMo? I personally have no trouble with it installed on SD with Incubus' latest Froyo (or any build I've used).

Also, where are you using it? Big cities with tall building can make it tough to get a signal (in case you weren't already aware).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] probean:
strange, i could never get the my location right when i used to be on winmo, but no probs with android these days. i use myn's warm donut on sprint vogue.

some often, easily ignored things you might want to check: have you set your location in your google account? maybe your data connection halts when gps is launched? installaion problems - both android and/or gps? if installed on sd, bad sectors? perhaps you need to update google maps? idk.. just speculating
[Touch CDMA Android Development] acegolfer:
Assuming, your GPS is not broken and it worked under WM, move to a different location.

I get that message, when I'm in a specific location in my building.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Everybody, his gps works, he can see his lat and long...

Your best bet IMO is this response
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Editcandy:
Just to clarify for some of the questions:

Yeah, GPS is definitely reporting correct Lat/Long - confirmed by plugging the data into Google Maps on a desktop in various locations (work/home).

GPS worked just fine in WinMo.

Oh, and this is NAND.

Google Maps not finding my location seems to have no bearing on my whereabouts - in my car, at home, at work, standing in a parking lot... it's the same wherever I am.

I'll re-try those suggestions when I get a chance - thanks. Maybe I did miss something.

-Jason
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Editcandy:
Just an update on this issue:

No matter what I tried I was unable to convince any Android build to make Google Maps find my location.

So I re-flashed to back to Win Mobile (yuck). Downloaded Google Maps. Found my location. Re-flashed to Android (FroYo). And now Google Maps in Android finds my location just fine.

Not sure what could have caused it to stop working in the first place. And definitely not looking forward to the next time it stops finding my location.

-editcandy
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
that is odd. Did you update your radio at all to a newer version that might have helped?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Editcandy:
Yeah, weird.

No. I'm running the standard Sprint radio which I think is x.x.30.

Here is the zip, extract any where but you have to keep all the files in that folder for it to work. Click Me.

Run Windows 7 Start Button Changer v 2.0.exe as admin.

Then select "Select & Change Start Button"

Then choose the file android.bmp located in that folder.

Explorer will then restart and tada new start button.

Just tested it out , exported my SMS from my OLD WM 6.5 Phone.

But when i started the import on my HTC Desire the screen went black for 20-30min before i got a complete message from the app.

I wiped all my old sms on the android phone before doing this import.

The total amount off messages was about 3000 , but it seams like they got sorted weird and many not under right phone number and so on.

But it wasn't useable after i had imported all those messages since they got mixed up with each other.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
I have paintstakenly set all of my events (including birthdays) to have a notification of NONE. However, the Incredible seems to flash the screen and "loud ping" every 10 minutes to notify me of these events anyway. I have had to resort to running Timeriffic to turn off all sounds until I wake up.

I am wondering if there is a way to get birthdays (which I believe are the problem) to actually NOT notify if you have set them to NOT notify. I dont want to completely disable notifications in case I do have a meeting or something, but this is somewhat ridiculous.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
None of my events make any sounds if they are not set to notify.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
<sigh>

Ummm ... ok ... so from that response I take it that you are unable to answer my question but replied anyway.

If anyone can actually answer it, I would appreciate any suggestions. I suspect that this may be more for events which recur yearly; perhaps those are prone to the problem.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
Events can come from many sources, Google calendar, exchange, etc...

In exchange there is no difference between a birthday or any other event, they are just events.

Not sure about Google Calendar.

[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I upgraded the firmware on my X10 to R2BA020 (Rogers) last weekend, and have noticed that ever since, using maintaining 3G data connection seems to drain my battery much quicker than it used to under the same conditions.

I tend to tether my X10 to my laptop using PdaNet over USB at work. Whereas doing so under the old 014 stock firmware would result in my battery dropping from 95% to 55-60% over the coarse of my 9-5 workday, it now drops to 50-55% by noon, and I find myself having to turn off PdaNet by 2pm in order to let my battery recharge to acceptable levels for the evening.

I have verified that my X10 is indeed charging over the USB connection to my laptop, and nothing other than the firmware has changed. So I'm not quite sure what the issue might be.

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] Shiwantha:
Hi,

I used to be on pda net until I got rooted. Try barnacle. Search this form u will find some information.

Sent From X10 Android Phone®
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I'll have to give that a try if I decide to root my X10. Still waiting for some of the bugs/issues to get sorted before I do so.

Also, I'd take it you'd keep your X10 charging while running Barnacle, as both 3G and WiFi radios I'd think would drain your battery right quick.

Any heat problems with such a setup? My X10 can get pretty warm while charging (48-degrees celcius average battery temp while tethered with PdaNet).
[XPERIA X10 General] Shiwantha:
I have rooted with BA20 version I haven't use the latest 23 version because Im very happy with my X10 now and its setup. No more moxier, asian keyboards and other unnecessary stuff. and im very happy with battery life.

when I have pdanet, I didnt use it for a long time. but with barnacle Im even using to type this on the forum :rolleyes:

but always im plugged in to my laptop via usb to charge when im accessing barnacle. and Im using set CPU at 575MHZ on screen off and 41C overheating cap for my processor. so far due to this I didn't got any waring.

based on my experience, barnacle is way better and easy to use (faster download speed too) than pdanet.

But have to appreciate pdanet as that was the only option I had when im not rooted.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
Ive had this problem before and also with other phones, the BMW system works perfectly if you have contacts that fill standard fields. Things like pictures, notes etc can stop it from working, problem also occurs in VW and Audi.

The only thing you can do is remove all the extras in your contacts.
