[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducamie:
wall charger provides 5v @ 1A

usb port provides 5v @ 0.5A

i think its impossible to get higher than .5A from a usb socket so i dont think this would work
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jell:
it should work flawlessly on laptops with special usb ports (my 3 years old compal has such one), so probalby also in other computers...

bad luck that this works only under windows, and there is no support for this in linux...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBNAquatics:
Oh I didn't know that USB provides 0.5A. I use USB, wall outlet (1A), and occasionally my car charger (2A split). Yes, my phone does it a little hot but nothing near danger level when charging with the car charger.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike390:
my bad, usually the usb port by where the ac adaptor plugs in is usually more powerful, well at least on the laptops ive owned in the past
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pillock:
The USB standard only allows for 500mA over USB ports when a device is connected and authenticated, i.e. drivers loaded.

Without this authentication, the USB standard dictates a maximum of 50mA - basically enough to get the device to power up, install drivers, and then hop into the higher power mode. If you just connect cables to the USB port you should only get 50mA as nothing will be detected by the OS.

However, most if not all USB ports ignore this part of the spec and provide full 500mA to anything connected. In addition, a lot of USB ports now provide power when the computer is off, and provide power above 500mA - you may have to enable these functions though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipje:
as far as I know, those motorola drivers signal a device that requires '1.5a' of power, 1.0a more than officially allowed by the usb specification.

Not all ports will actually give that amount of power, but it's a but of an ugly hack to say that the device can handle 1.5a, and some ports actually give them 1.5a (ports on desktop-chipsets can behave like this. Most laptop-chipsets follow the 0.5a spec closely).

I know our heroes can take 1.0a at least (that is supplied by the default HTC wall charger, am I correct?). But a) don't know if more works with a Hero b) changes of this actually working (ie misbehaving usb ports) are slim
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mello0110:
usb is approximately 5 volts now matter what kind of drivers you are using. the +5v rail in the usb port is already the one being used for charging, so the answer is no. but i guess HTC still could have made some drivers that acctually work for win7 x64...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mello0110:
may i interject and say that this is just as possible in linux as in windows. there just isn't a known method for it yet, and very few people knows how to compile working homebrew drivers for USB 2.0

this would be handy for me to charge my phone with less amperes as i cant use my G15,G5,surround sound hs and charge hero at same time.....computer says i just canny do et cap'ain i doont have the poower!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thierry_b:
Hello,

I've installed VillainRom 5.5 since a long time, and I think that I've never try to use adb since that.

Yesterday, I try to connect my phone on my computer to install VillainRom 12 based on officiel 2.1, and it tells me that the hardware is not reconize, and adb command didn't work.

So I used the Power and return combination to reboot to bootloader and from that, I managed to used fastboot to boot on RA recovery.

But even now, with my VillaimRom 12, Windows XP doesn't reconize my phone anymore....I can use it for charge or mounting the sd card, but adb doesn't work anymore...

I try to download http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r06-windows.zip and the update package "usb driver rc3", but it changes nothing... :-(

A idea?

Edit: It works thanks to http://www.crazyws.fr/blog/tutos/votre-htc-hero-en-modem-usb.html :-)

Thanks :-)
[Desire General] hk5354:

Is there any key Combination to reboot desire?

SOLVED

[Desire General] faddys123:

[Desire General] rowanparker:
Erm... it reboots?
[Desire General] doinbox:
Well I've been in a situation where an app has crashed and no buttons worked including power. I had to remove battery but I'm sure this would have worked. You may need it one day. So be grateful.
[Desire General] gazebee:
Unfortunately, this completely skips the "silent boot" app on relaunch.
[Desire General] Scann69:
Great tip :)

I still reboot my device once a day....WM bad habit :p
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
this is NOT a factory reset? just a reboot? is that correct? could the users having the "phone won't shut down" issue just use this instead to reboot cleanly?
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
It's not a factory reset or hard reset. The key combination just does a soft reset. Give it a try; it won't hurt.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
thats great!!! thanks. I always have problem opwering down the phone to restart, so will try this instead. cheers.
[Desire General] copex:
when i first got my hands on the desire after installing and deinstalling apps I got the error about a lack of space available when trying to install apps even though i only had 3/4 apps installed, so i got rid of the task manager and now i just reboot the phone after installing or deinstalling apps or if i have been on youtube or doing a lot of browsing, it seem to keep the phone running smoothly and havn't seen the out of memory error :-)

ive not looked in to this so it is just a presumption, the phone runs a clean up on shut down and this is the reason why the phone seems to hang when shutting down as it is deleting unused files, I noticed that when you shutdown (power off the phone) after heavy use it would always take a lot longer shut down the first time, if you then done a power down for a second time shut down was quite quick.

or maybe im talking s******** :-)

ive tried the key combo and it seems like a forced reset rather than a reboot? anyone care to comment?
[Desire General] Dinty:
LOL... i know exactly what you mean... i'm the same... haha
[Desire General] gr8lats:
Nice tip. Thanks for sharing.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I know what you're talking about. That's what I thought too (ie, the phone does a clean-up at shutdown). But then why doesn't this happen on the HTC Legend? I have both devices and the Legend has no issues shutting down regardless of up-time.

Anyway, I've noticed that rebooting the phone will often recover chunks of internal memory. Presumably it's just freeing some from some sort of cache. I've not noticed whether it behaves the same if I reset via the key combination versus shutdown-and-then-power on.
[Desire General] roccos_van:
Thanks for the tip!
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
I'm glad I found this out, When my phone gets to baggy to access a app killer or even to get the power off menu I use this, So much faster than removing silicon case then back then battery and then having to stick it all back together :)
[Desire General] mercianary:
It works, but then it hangs on the white HTC screen.
[Desire General] chickengrease:
Can use this to power off as I have probs doing it the proper way, cheers fella.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Just want to add a word of warning to anyone using the standby + vol down + trackpad combination to reset:

I've installed and uninstalled several applications. Each time, I either did the key combination to reset or I powered down normally and then just powered back on.

If I power down and then power on, I sometimes regain some internal memory.

If I do the key combination, I never regain any internal memory.

As title says really , have a locked branded phone om T-Mobile UK , have paid for an unlock code and unlocked it to any network , does this still need a goldcard for rooting now ?

or would it be classed as an unlocked phone

Thanks
[Desire General] foxmeister:
It is an unlocked phone, but it is still carrier branded due to the ROM, so yes you will need a gold card.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] jimore19:
Thanks for the quick reply Dave

So once flashed using gold card and unbranded will it still need goldcard then ?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
yes the branding is hardcoded, once you have debranded you can flash custom roms from recovery with no need for a goldcard, but you will always need one to flash an official stock rom :)

Just saw this app on the market. Pretty sweet...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Gentlemont:
Very Nice

This is a nice little app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bohlool:
New Features

I add some features to this app such as:

- Keep Display On

- Keep app in memory during dock ( to make sure it will do the job on the Undock, most of the things will done even if you kill the app during dock but not all of them :D )

- Disable Clock App.

For last feature, I prevented clock app to appear when you dock the phone, but still it show up when you push home button, any Idea how I can also disable that? I digged a lot in SDK, couldn't find a good solution, the only solution I've found is install a fake app to disable clock functionality.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] earthwind3:
My battery indicator (in status bar) likes to increase each time I restart my device. Does anyone else have this issue?

I am charging and the indication shows as charging plus the percentage is increasing like normal. However, when I restart the device it shows more than charge percent. For instance, show 56 % but after restart device shows 82 or more than 92. Thank a lot in advance for taking your time to reply

I've tried searching to see if it's a common problem, but I haven't been able to find others with the same issue with Artemis :(

My Rom: Touch_4.02_Vanilla
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] almozaffar:

hmmmm...well..for past one year...i have my 100% battery accuracy.

Have you noticed when charging its getting charge slowly and draining is also extremely fast after restart because its showing more than whats charged.. Maybe i guess its my battery got screwed up :(

[HD2 General] Phenomenon:
I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but the google box that you can bring up on the Sense tab (the one for internet) is different than the one when you open the Opera Browser that is right under the address bar. The difference between the two is the one on the Sense tab gives you the results of the search, but anytime you click on any of the links for your results its TEXT ONLY. The one on the Opera Browser has links that takes you to the site, but still lets it stay as a "desktop" looking site. Anyone know why it does that? Is it a glitch? Can it be fixed?
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
I agree. I would like to know as well.

In the tab: you can change it in registry to the following and it will do every google search in desktop version :

google.com/search?hl=en-US&output=html&q=%s

however, if you are in the browser already, and did a google search, it will come up in mobile search results.

How can we change the one in browser to desktop searchers?
[HD2 General] Marct77:
Hmm never noticed this before,might be a good idea to

change it to give proper search results
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
The search bar that you refer to invokes Google's specilaized mobile view rendering service. Essentially what Google does is to take all the websites out there and convert them to a mobile friendly version before diplaying it on your screen.

That's why it is different from the Desktop View and even the Opera Mobile View because Google is dong the conversion, not the browser.

It's quite handy if you want quick access to text information.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
custom user agent.

as you are now opera is telling google it is a mobile browser. spoof for example the FireFox desktop use agent and you will see desktop google.

as for the search tab, as mentioned above you can force the results and even use a different search engine if you like.

I bought my HERO just a few days ago.

Once,the system halted and I took the battery out of the phone.

After that,when I turn on the phone,it show the first picture in the attachmentsView attachment 354312

and then only when I press the DIAL button ,the phone responses,and it shows the second picture in the attachmentsView attachment 354313

I have checked that the buttons of the phone are all OK.

And I have sent it to someone to mend it,he said that the phone can not be connected to the computer,but he succeeded in flashing it with the miniSD memory card. BUT the phone still has the same problem.What's more ,the H-BOOT has been flashed by him from 1.76.005 to 1.76.007. But the problem still

exist....

im currently eyeing on an android phone.n since my budget is not so high,i am considering the htc hero.my question is,does the hero lags often when using custom rom or android 2.1?what else is disturbing with this phone in ur opinion?

im using xperia x1 now,btw...

ur opinion is much needed.thanks in advance! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bugeyes:
The hero is a great handset get one!!

Runs fine on 2.1 video graphics vastly improved over the old 1.5 rom and the camara seems to be improved too!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gefahr:
biggest annoyance is the camera's lag (from the time you press the button until it captures the image). i've tried basically all of the 3rd-party camera apps, essentially the same in terms of this issue. didn't use the camera much before i switched to a custom ROM, but based on the complaints on the sprint forums i'd say it's in the stock rom too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CyberWalrus:
Personally, with the newer handsets arround now, I wouldnt get it, but its still a great little handset. With overclocks (up to 768 on newest models) the phone runs 2.1 fast, smooth and all in all, great. 3d performance is great concidereding it has no dedicated GPU, though the latest 3d games will lag... but its a great size, much nicer to hold than the desire in my opinion.

Dont worry about speed. Unless you plan to do 3d gaming on it, the hero will not limit you at all!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Betty_Swallocks:
Cameras seem to be a weak point for HTC in general. My old TyTNII's camera was pretty much useless and the Hero's is awful too. (Mind you I haven't upgraded to 2.1 yet so it might help.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JihaZafik:
u mean,the hero sucks in 3d games?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JihaZafik:
i've read some reviews on the net n some of them claimed that hero is a bad device for web browsing.is it true? it is important to me as i always browse rhe web with my phone.

does this phone suit me as a heavy user of web browsing,average user for gaming(bt i demand smooth n great graphic) n crazy apps fan?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Wezternator:
Well I've never had any problems with web browsing. Becuase it only runs 2.1 it doesn't support full flash - however it does support the mobile version what is ok for banners etc on website. I use my device for web browsing all the time and I love it for it.

Gaming is fine on it. I have mine overclocked to 691 (furthest I can go with my chip). and I can run the most demanding game I have ever found (Raging Thunder - A 3d car racing game with ace graphics) smoothly probably about 20-25 fps.

I love the phone personally :-)

MINMALISTIC - MOVADO​

NOW ON DAMAGE CONTROL AND FRESH!!!!!

This theme is the polar opposite of what I usually like my themes to look like! I have been known for some time now on the insane amount of color I try to fit into every corner of my ROMS...or Themes :)

Now, I am quite pleased to bring you a rendition of a Nexus theme from AbsoluteDesignz & manup456 called "Minimalistic". I have added a few small touches to this theme, and a few extra app icons as well. There is even a "Movado" version of this theme.....that one can be found with a diamond in the analog clock.

The only difference between the "Minimalistic Theme" and the "Movado Theme" is the diamond in the analog clock (not much of a difference I know....but it reminded me alot of one of my favorite watches ;))

Here is what I added to this theme....

1) Some New Taskbar Icons

2) Few New App Icons

3) New "Minimalistic" Rosie

4) Clear News & Weather App

5) Clear Custom Blue Power Widget

This is currently built for the lastest Damage Control ROM....and will be ported over to the lastest Fresh at some point today (7-04-10) - Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!!

Thanks to AbsoluteDesignz for creating this theme and manup456 for keeping it alive....and to LilPup81 for all the testing and the screenies!!!

Hope those who enjoy simple, enjoy this! :)

DAMAGE CONTROL 3.2.3 & FRESH 1.0.1 :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] michd43:
The reason why all you guys are getting FC's, or your phone gets stuck on the boot screen is because this theme is for 2.1 Roms only. Last update was 16th July 2010, 2.2 roms didn't come out until the first week of August. Also, take a look at the compatible Rom builds that he stated. "Damage Control 3.2.3 & Fresh 1.0.1" are 2.1 Roms. Damage Control 3.5 & Fresh 3.1.0.2 & 3.2.0.0 are 2.2 Roms. (Simple research doesn't hurt.)
