[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gascanieto:
go into device manager and make sure your Hero phone, shows up as MY HTC. if not, make sure you've got the right drivers installed for your phone. Once you've done that, you can downgrade to .65 Orange ROM without needing the Goldcard Method
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
install the latest htc sync too
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiz0r:
Thanks chaps,

So I've been checking out the device manager in the background when I try and perform the update, here's what I noticed.

I have Developer mode turned on, with my phone.

When I plug my USB into my computer under ADB Interface I have My HTC and HTC Sync is green.

When I run the RUU software HTC Sync disconnects, and I have to wait a good while for it to show green before I can run the update successfully.

When the phone reboots into bootloader mode I have a warning symbol under ADB Interface with a driver named Bootloader

Also when I start from scratch, uninstall, reboot, then reinstall everything, my Hero installs the HTC Dream composite ADB Interface in device manager as default. :S I have to manually choose My HTC as my driver.

It seems to be when the bootloader runs I get the following warning over the bootloader driver in device manager.

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."

I have already uninstalled everything, so how does this happen?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiz0r:
Another thing I've noticed is that I have USB Debugging enabled, should this be on or off when I perform a RUU updated?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaiz0r:
This did the trick! Thanks for posting the guide.

To recap, the problem I was havin gis that all sorts of weird drivers were being associated with my Hero, for starters when I had installed the latest HTC Sync, my device was being picked up as a HTC Dream, so I changed this to My HTC.

Secondly when I ran the RUU and my phone rebooted into bootloader mode, a bootloader driver was being installed but having a conflict with another driver, it also asked me to restart my PC, I fixed this by updating the driver to My HTC again, and voila, easy update.

Thanks for all the help!

Cheers,

Blaise.

Hi!

I just got my first Android mobile... yepiiiiii :D

Only one thing is bugging me:

I know how to uninstall programs that I downloaded or installed from the SD, but how do I unistall games that came with the phone? Those 3 games are: Peggle, CA Gold Rush & Roller Coaster.

I'm new to Andoid, so take it easy :)

Please help, I'll be very thankful...
[XPERIA X10 General] ballubas:
If its the same as your big brother x10 just go into settings, applications and select whatever program you wanna take away.

if it that don't work you need root access to take it away, we had that prob with moxier!
[XPERIA X10 General] sagittarius83:
I don't know if it's like the bigger x10. But I tried with the program from the setting... It does'nt have any uninstall button.

And yes, I have access to the root with a program that I downloaded from the Android market called Astro file manager.
[XPERIA X10 General] kitty_0427:
Help Please!

According to your message, you have removed creatouch from your phone. Can you please tell me the actual app name of creatouch for removing it by root.

Ex. roadsync.apk

I have tried Creatouch.apk and many other ways but could not remove it.

By any chance, do you know the name for CA Gold Rush?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Root access in this case = Superuser access.

The easiest way to do it is to check out this thread, download, install, run the apk on your mini, and it should take care of everything.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747587

Then the easiest way to remove the apps would be to get something like Titanium Backup, and uninstalling the apps through there...
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
Yup you need to root to get rid of the very annoying bloatware put on by SE and your carrier. Bugged me when during the last update Tmobile put on another useless app. When will they realise that the beauty of android is that we should get to choose what we have on our phones not them. No-one uses their crappy programmes anyway!!
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Hi.

I got shut of it yesterday using Root Explorer and Titanium Back-Up. I used TB to uninstall it, I then went to /data/app and removed the apk, then from /data/app-private, and lastly from /system/app, and now have no trace of it.
[HD2 General] GutterFaceMobile:
I have a TMOUS 1024mb version of the HD2. The problem I'm having is, When I got the phone, the external speaker wasn't working. I used it for a few weeks, then after a hard reset, the speaker works!! Then after it freezes up, another hard reset, and no more speaker!! So I tryed installing Oz's ROM yesterday, and it works great, but no external speaker. Any ideas ?
[HD2 General] GutterFaceMobile:
Wow, no replys to this? I know theres a million people that have the same issue? Surely someone has found the software issue that's causing it! Any rom's that fix it? or any way to tweak anything ot get sound out of it? Been stuck with mine with no external speaker for almost 2 months now!! And no, I bought it second hand off a friend, so theres no sending it back for a new one. The speaker sound did come back for a short week or so, but after it froze up again, and reboot, it's gone! sad face! so any info would be great!
[HD2 General] victor8965:
no havent heard anything like that in my case the ear speaker is so low that i have to use the external speaker...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Johev:
Hi all,

I have a problem with my g-sensor too, but it is a bit different. The X axes works perfectly, the Y axes acts as if the phone was always facing down, thus, when playing teeter, the ball goes always down, and never up, but it moves to the left and to the right.

Is there anyway I can try to fix the problem? I have an official ROM, and it used to work well. I am not sure if it was from the daily use, or if something else happened, but now it does this.

I have installed the g-sensor calibrator, but after it calibrates, the Y ball, moves all the way up and I have no way of getting it down.

Thank all for the help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salih_gunay:
your g sensor is broken.. sorry
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopper64:
Hi all, lurker turned poster here. I've been looking around but i can't seem to find a straight answer to this.

If i were to go through the process of doing full root and NAND unlock, to install a custom ROM and test, can i return to a true "stock" setup, specifically re-locked NAND so that my EVO can be returned under warranty? I know that RUU returns me to stock kernel and ROM, but I can't find anything about the NAND. I'd prefer not to go any further with testing any custom ROMs without knowing that I can return my EVO. Thanks in advance!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kermit_frosch:
I hope (but am very sure) that this is the right place to ask...

The situation: ich use the mobile contract of my company, which I may also use privately. However, in this case I have to dial *+150# as prefix before the number. For text messages the prefix is just 150.

Sure, one could save the targetnumber already with the prefix - but since it is two different ones, the mapping from the phone book doesnt work...

Replying to a text message, it is sent to the sender's number, instead of to the one with a prefix saved in the phone book. (The Hero is able to map the sender's number to the according phone book entry (incl. prefix))

I'd like to change my Hero in such a way that whenever I dial a phone number of a certain group (e.g. friends), the respective prefix would be prepended. Similar, for text messages the respective msg-prefix (150) shall be prepended.

Do I have to root the phone in order to realize these functions? And above all, how would I implement my ideas?

Cheers,

kermit
[Hero, G2 Touch General] strider96:
Now there is nothing hundred percent like that however you could save to numbers to the contact instead of one number for each contact
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kermit_frosch:
hi strider96, thanks for your comment. Well, I tried this already. But as I indicated, when replying to text messages, the system will not reply to the numbe saved in the phone book, but reply the exact sender number (which is without prefix, in standard international format usually). Moreover even if this would work, as I said, when having two different numbers in the phone book (due to the two different prefixes), android does not neccessarily map the correct phone book entry an incoming message.

Instead of editing the Android system at a basic level, I was thinking about an app similar to the one used for calling cards. There the standard phone book entry would be extended by a respective prefix. No idea how I could realize this.... Still, this wouldn't be such a nice solution, but at least it would be one...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
I'm coming from a rooted port of Android for the Sprint Touch (Vogue) (Thanks DZO, Myn, and company!!!) and WOW EVO is amazing. :)

Anyways I have a few questions I need help with getting started I've been reading a lot but I'm still overwhelmed with the wealth of info:

#1. I updated the OTA - does this mean I can't root yet until the new OTA is rooted?

#2. I would like to go to a new rom without all the junk. I don't use sense, or any of that other fancy stuff running in the background. Is there a rom you would recommend?

#3. In the past, I had a rooted device where I could modify the androidinstall.tar and remove .apk's I didn't want. Is this possible with the current situation on EVO?

#4. With all these roms, do you generally clean wipe everything each time? or do settings / apps / configs remain?

Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
I can try to answer your questions.

1. Unless something has come out recently off you are stock and did the update no way to root yet.

2. I just use stock ROM and remove what I don't use.

3. I personally use "root explorer" once you are root you can either unlock nand and use out to remove bloatware or you can adb and remove with your computer.

4. I'm not to sure about those commands, I haven't ever used those.

Look at the sticky in any forum and go to the ROM and Guide link and everything you need to know its there. Keep a close lookout I'm sure somebody will figure out how to root the update soon.

Yeah I love root explorer, that's how I used to change things on my old phone. I have it installed but I guess I just have to wait for them to root the update. Maybe I shouldn't have updated :)

Oh well, knowing XDA they will probably root it by the time I'm finished typing this post. I'll keep reading those stickies... thanks for the answer though!

Just a thought...

Did you know that if the people who run this site nitpick posts that they become legally liable for what is posted? I am in law school and have taken a number of IP classes. Boards that just let you say whatever and post what you want have no liability, but when you guys get like this you are now liable. So you better watch closely, because if someone posts links to stuff that infringes upon someone's IP YOU and your site are personally liable as if you infringed yourself. :)

So... you're saying don't moderate the boards? Whaaa?

Forum Rule #12

If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.

These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Actually, that rule and the "law" quoted do not conflict. Whether the accused broke the rule or not, the moderator(s) may still exercise a "take down". The point being made with the "law" is that ANY "take down" on the part of the administration can be viewed legally as the ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY, since it is evident that they ARE manipulating the content.

Now there are a couple of reasons why this "law" is irrelevant:

1) The forum administration did NOT perform a take-down. They simply LOCKED THREADS.

2) LAWs are only valid in the jurisdiction where the law applies. Now we have someone's interpretation of a law (or interpretation of multiple laws), but (1) we don't know where that someone lives, and (2) we don't necessarily know the jurisdiction of this FORUM. The domain name itself is registered to "Domains by Proxy, Inc." the IP is registered to an online hosting service.... so just try holding them to anything -- you'll probably find a proxy "owner" in some crazy place like Russia.
